Chapter 336: The Outcome

"Continue! It's healing itself. We can't let it recover at any cost!"

Everyone gritted their teeth and immediately started to bombard the Dragon again. The Dragon might be standing now, but it was obviously close to death already.

Roarr!

The Dragon then weaved one of its claws, and it looked like the fabric of space was ripped apart. Even though the chains didn't allow it to charge at the cultivators and demon beasts, the fact that it had already surpassed the Void Breaking Realm meant that it understood the Space Laws to a certain extent.

A few of the attackers tried to dodge that attack, but they were too slow. They were immediately cut apart and fell on the ground. They couldn't be more dead. The others who saw that got even more frightened. Still, they knew that this place is entirely sealed, so there was nowhere to run. They had to keep attacking and not allow it to recover.

The Dragon then tried to bring out its own Domain, which was, without a doubt, several times stronger than any other here. Unfortunately to the Dragon, there were so many Domains overlapped with it as the target that its own Domain couldn't do much.

Krune started to released his Tribulation Lightning and Flame once more to use another Tribulation Cannon. But the Dragon knew that he was the most dangerous one. It immediately slashed with its claws in Krune direction, totally intending to get rid of him.

An attack at that level is way to fast for Krune, so he only had enough time to put a few of his shield in front of it. His shields, unfortunately, were far from being able to stop the attack. In the end, they also got cut in half because of the space laws. Fortunately, it was enough to delay the attack for a moment. That was all that Krune needed to be able to dodge with his Tribulation Lightning Movement.

'Five of my Sheilds got destroyed, just like that.'

The Dragon had to pay to avert its attention to Krune, though. The Cultivators and Demon Beasts aimed at the injuries on its body and increased the damage even more.

Roarr!

Another painful cry came out, and the Dragon started to send random attacks everywhere. This Dragon couldn't think straight at the moment, and the pain only worsened its state. The Cultivators and Demon Beast noticed that as well and could predict its movements by looking at the claws and the chains. Still, once in a while, someone died for not being able to move away in time.

The Dragon might not be able to leave the center of the arena due to the chains, but its space laws were more than enough to send attacks everywhere in this place.

A few seconds and several dodges later, Krune finally released enough Tribulation Lightning and Flame and used his Tribulation Cannon once more.

Krune made sure to aim at the deep injury on its chest, hoping to destroy its heart. But the Dragon was still aware enough to protect that place. Noticing the attack coming, it quickly used its arms to protect it.

Boom!

Except for the claws, its arms definitely weren't as resistant as its chest. Even though it tried to build an energy barrier to fend off some of Krune's attack power, its arms still got severely damaged, and the Dragon fell on the ground. Usually, an energy barrier at its cultivation realm would be more than enough to stop the attack of anyone in this place. But the Dragon is really gravely injured, so it can barely control any energy anymore.

Suddenly, the Dragon started to inhale with all his might. One of the Demon Beasts noticed what was happening and immediately sent a Divine Message to everyone.

"Careful! It's going to use a Dragon Breath!"

The Dragon looked at Krune's direction and let out the attack.

This Dragon Breath wasn't simply fire. It had both the Fire Laws and even some Space Laws behind it. Everywhere the fire passed, the fabric of space shattered and the world burned.

Fortunately, thanks to that Demon Beast's warning, Krune knew that it was probably an attack aimed at him. So even before the Dragon finished turning in his direction, Krune had already dashed away. It was really a lucky thing since even though Krune's reaction was fast, he still had to use his shields to protect him from the edges of the attack. Because of that, another 4 Shields Shatered and 3 more were badly damaged.

There was good news, though. A Dragon Breath used with the body in that state had also injured the Dragon Internally! Its lungs could not use such an attack a second time.

Krune didn't stop charging his Tribulation Cannon for even a second. He even ran the risk of losing control of all that energy since a few of his shields got destroyed in the last exchange. Krune's Sheild was what he used to keep the Tribulation Lightning and Flame condensed in one point. If he lost more of them, he really wouldn't be able to use his Tribulation Cannon anymore.

"Light Spirit, the two previous attacks should have been enough. I'm counting on you for the next."

Luvile then replied.

"No problem, just make sure that you can release one more attack, and I will deal with the rest."

Krune then moved behind the Dragon and released the attack.

"Tribulation Cannon!"

The Dragon had been paying special attention to Krune all the time, so when it saw the attack coming at its back, it focused all its energy there. The Dragon also used his wings to cover the point where the attack would lend. There was no doubt that it would suffer big injuries again, but they wouldn't be fatal.

Unfortunately for the Dragon, it was going to be the second being to be fooled by this strategy. Just as the Tribulation Cannon attack was about to hit its energy barrier, it made a curve!

The Dragon really had no time to react. Even if it was in a perfect state, such a point-blank attack would have been hard to dodge, let alone now that it could barely move.

The attack went around the Dragon and hit the large injury on its chest. With nothing to protect it, the attack also hit the Dragon's Heart and destroyed it!

The Dragon had then vomited blood and looked at Krune in disbelief. It really didn't expect that a Divine Soul Realm could do such a thing. It was right, though. Krune really couldn't achieve this level of control yet. It was Luvile who controlled the attack in the final moment and aimed at the injury on the other side.

The Dragon then fell on the ground and slowly closed its eyes.

Everyone noticed that and immediately used their Divine Sense to check the Dragon again. This time, it was really dead for sure.

Immediately, all the survivors went in an uproar and cheered. Feifei, Ruik, and all the others also sighed in relief. At the start, Krune asked Feifei to pay attention to the others and warn them if they needed to move. Feifei had to use her all to be able to predict nothing more than half a second in the future. That was the difference in the cultivation level right there for you. When everything was over, Feifei was drenched in sweat and breathing heavily.

The only one that Feifei didn't try to help was Krune. He had asked her to focus on the others only. He told her that he had the confidence to keep himself alive as long as he was in his Wisp Form. Of course, Krune was just forcing the issue. That last Dragon Breath, for example, would definitely have killed him if that Demon Beast hadn't warned everyone in time.

While everyone was celebrating, Krune looked at the Dragon and sighed.

That time when he checked the Dragon's condition, he noticed that there was a very faint spark of life in its body. It was so dim that he had failed to notice at first. But because of a long time of wait, it was almost gone. When the formation started to operate, it wasn't really reviving it since it wasn't completely dead yet. Still, the fires of life were already too faint, so even though the Dragon looked okay on the outside, Krune knew that it wouldn't live for long, even if it had won.

This battle was probably the last struggle it could have made before falling into eternal silence regardless of the outcome.

'Most likely, it would have been controlled even if didn't want to attack us. The final trial had to be carried off, after all.'

Krune then returned to his human form and touched the Dragon Corpse.

"Sorry about this, but we had no other choice. You knew it, and so did I. Fortunately, your soul was not destroyed, so you still can reincarnate one day. At least, you don't need to be in this prison anymore."

Krune took a deep breath and stood up. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a faint womanly voice.

"Thank you."

Krune felt shocked and immediately looked behind him, but the Dragon was still dead as it could be. Krune then smiled a bit and then returned to his group.
